With our Accounts Payable refresh, we have introduced more specific statuses to help your scaling team manage processing, paying & reconciling your payables.
Rho AP is broken down into two cycles: Bill cycle and payments cycle.
- The Bill cycle includes submitting, processing, editing, and reconciling bills
- The Payment cycle includes confirming payment details, approving, scheduling, and reconciling bill payments.
Here is a mapping of how our prior statuses map to new AP statuses:

This workflow starts with a status of Bill Draft and ends with a Status of BIll Processed

Additionally, a Bill can always be Archived and now includes more granular statuses to ensure your team understands why a bill is not moving forward to payment.
Note that bill payments can only be archived when they are in Payment Draft status.
